I love this ending I can see Rodney doing something like this too. Every time John gets hurt I'm always a little suprised that he doesn't nuke the planetfull of the poeple who hurt his lover. So yeah, I can actually see this ending as realistic.

*evil grins!!* WOW GO RODNEY!! love this ending Caldwell got what was coming to him! I also loved how Rodney seemed so in control and yet i could sense the desperation at the thought of losing John, or anything bad happening to him. I have to say though even though I love the slash version the original ending seemed like a cover up by ELizabeth and the guys for a slashy relationship anyway!! SO I have to say I am Happy with the outcome of both although Caldwell getting whats coming to him is an added bonus! :) again well done. x

Cool alternative ending, and not at all what I was expecting. When I saw your warnings of 'tragic' and 'deathfic,' I assumed poor Rodney would commit suicide or John would get killed on a mission. I like your idea much better!

Okay, I *know* I should be horrified at Rodney's cold, calculating, murder of Caldwell...but I find myself cheering instead. I just can't dredge up any sympathy for the man that was so intent on ruining so many lives and who was willing to manipulate Rodney into helping him out. Also, I had really hoped that Rodney knew what Caldwell was doing, and yay, he had :). Also loved possessive!Rodney :). Great ending. Laura.

Author's Response: You aren't the only person to label Rodney cold and calculating in this version, but really, he's panicking and desperate. He only seems cold and calculating because he's smart enough to plan ahead in order to hide his deed. The perfect murder is, of course, one where no one knows that it's murder.
Thanks so much - I'm glad you liked it.
